Phu Quy Island

Phu Quy Island is a coastal kitesurfing location off southern Vietnam where the coastline faces west toward the South China Sea. The spot offers open ocean conditions with direct water exposure to the west. Average wind speeds of 15.6 knots provide moderate conditions, though consistency varies at 67.5% reliability. Water temperatures average 27.3°C with typical wave heights around 1.09m, though conditions are characterized by rough-chop rather than organized swell. Northerly winds (0°) provide the most consistent side-shore orientation along the western coast. The location suits intermediate riders experienced with variable conditions and rough water. Kiters should account for seasonal monsoon patterns affecting this region and verify current wind conditions before sessions. The open ocean exposure creates both opportunity for wind but also demands respect for potential strong currents and limited nearby assistance. Water conditions require solid board control skills.
